lol im telling you people love crying

why are you mad cause igbo babes are marrying other dudes

it could also be because they treat them better

Onlytruth:
The funny thing is your usual modus operandi: grab the Igbo girl first, promise her heaven ("oh you'll be the only wife, I love U! blah blah". Then, after she's had a few kids, BAM you marry a second one! Then a third! and before the Igbo woman knows it, she is powerless in a marriage of six or seven wives! She starts dancing to the tune of the house including anti-igbo sentiments!
Igbo fathers, just watch out! I rest it here.

LOL what are you saying their are christian yorubas who only have one wife, but marry outside yoruba because women are taken by polygamist yoruba guys.

I for one will marry one wife but i see im related to ALOT OF FOLKS so outside yoruba is more likely

Oba sijuwade is reuniting all omo oduduwas across Nigeria Benin republic(the country) and the world.

"President Yayi, conferred the Grand Commander of Officer of Benin Republic on Oba Sijuwade while Yeyeluwa Morisola Sijuwade was conferred with Officer of the Order of Benin Republic."

Oba Sijuwade also visited Ajase/Porto Novo, Ouidah, Alada, Abomey, Sabe and Ketu where various demands such as the establishment of school for learning of Yoruba language and culture, mini-museum to replicate the Yoruba culture in the Yoruba-speaking areas of Benin Republic and building of hotels to promote tourism at border towns of Benin Republic.

The Ooni, who was received at Ouidah, a former slave camp which habours people from different Yoruba communities, by the Onikoyi of Ouidah, Oba Ademola Alabi, called on the Yoruba traditional rulers to come to the aid of the community in establishing a school where the Yoruba language and culture would be taught."

becomerich has a point but im not sure about ALL OF THEM many are FAR FAR OFF

Onlytruth:
I am a Christian like most Igbos. We are monogamists, which is why we have excess babes lying around, which you polygamists grab!
If we start practising polygamy, I promise you there will be no excess babes in Igboland.

Then do so and stop complaining
lol
about people taking your left over women as you put it- left over or not we will take them and some more because we are polygamists- the more the marrier

igbos were polygamist before the white man came and you guys decided to do away with it, now your complaning others are taking your women and being marginlized
lmfao you guys are funny sha

we jus LOVE women and our kids(family) in general, which is why alot of people are polygamist "fine women" are being taken by polygamist EVERYDAY, so guys have no choice but to marry outside tribe.

i have over 2000 people with last name(all related) so to be safe, i have to marry outside my tribe

delta sounds great, igbo lovely, fulani, why not?

And daddy's orientation too! , including anti-igbo sentiments.

no anti igbo anything, just daddys Everything

if you dont like it start marrying outside your tribe and spreading igboness

paranoia indeed 

lol

udezue:
Lets keep that marriage within our region jare.

by only doing so you only limit and marginilize yourselves cause men from other ethnicities will continue to marry outside if not in their own. And those off spring will take daddys name/side

like moi

why does the moderator keep deleting comments?

LIKE I SAID GOOD FIND @Niger delta

@beaf i dont know but i wouldn't be surprised if they are related to any omo oduduwa tribes

this is not a yoruba thing as i said before but about the descendant of oduduwa

your responses should be directed towards Udeuze who thinks oduduwa and or ethnic groups in Nigeria are not related.

udezue:
RUBBISH.

So what language do they speak? What cultural practices do they perform? What ethnic are they? LOL @ your lame attempt to taint them non Igbo. Go to Onitsha and tell me if they look anything like Yoruba or Bini. I'm much closer to Onitsha so I think I know more bout them.

Where did Arochukwu people come from? U even forget Onitsha get Igala links. Awka got links with Igala. Am I Igala? LOL. Nri Kingdom spread all the way to Igala, Benin areas so now tell me are they Igbo?

if everyone has linksas you said why the hate for other ethnicities though we are all linked or related?

people like you cause division in Nigeria

Niger_d:
@ moderator why delete my post?

History

Immigrants from Anioma (Western Igboland) closest to the Kingdom of Benin are believed to have settled in Onitsha in the 16th century, which was originally called Ado N'Idu.[2] It soon became capital of an Igbo Kingdom. In 1857 British traders in palm oil established a permanent station in the city, and Christian missionaries soon followed headed by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a Yoruba) and Reverend John Taylor (an Igbo).[3] In 1884 Onitsha became part of a British protectorate.[4] The British colonial government and Christian missionaries penetrated most of Igboland to set up their administration, schools and churches through the river port at Onitsha.
The Onitsha bridge into Onitsha.

Historically, the former Eastern Nigeria did not experience a prolonged period of indigenous urbanization like Ibadan in the southwest or Kano and Zaria in the north. Onitsha became an important trading port for the Royal Niger company in the mid 1850's. Following the abolition of slavery, trade in palm kernels and other cash crops boomed around this river port. Immigrants from the hinterland were drawn to the emerging boom town as did the British traders who settled there and coordinated the palm oil and cash crops trade. In 1965, a bridge was built across the Niger River to replace the ferry crossing,[5] and plans are in place to add a second bridge as well. [6]

Trade soared between the east and west of Nigeria. This made Onitsha the strategic gateway for trade between the former eastern and western regions. The Biafran war years brought widespread devastation to Onitsha. The subsequent oil boom years brought a huge influx of immigrants into the city. The war-damaged facilities, still under repair, could not cope with the pace of the rural-urban exodus into the city. Slums consequently began to emerge from the hasty haphazard building construction to accommodate the huge influx. It lies at a major east-west crossing point of the Niger River, and occupies the northernmost point of the river regularly navigable by large vessels. These factors have historically made Onitsha a major centre for trade between the coastal regions and the north, as well as between eastern and western Nigeria. Onitsha possesses one of the very few road bridge crossings of the mile-wide Niger river.

Today, Onitsha is a textbook example of the perils of urbanization without planning or public services.

The history of Onitsha began with the migration of its people from the Benin Empire towards the end of early part of the Sixteenth Century AD. The migration was as a result of a wave of unrest, war and displacement unleashed by the Islamic movement from North Africa.

It was during their passage through the outskirts of Ile-Ife that they acquired the name Onitsha - a corruption of the Yoruba word Orisha and Udo, the famous shrine worshipped by the people. As time went on, the combination of the two words, Onitsha for Orisha and Ado for Udo culminated in the present name , Onitsha Ado.

The people of Onitsha left the out skirts of Ile-Ife and resettled in the Benin Kingdom and soon established themselves as one of the clans in the Benin Kingdom exercising all the rights and privileges attached thereon.

As a result of a long process of acculturation in Benin, the Onitsha people jealously guarded their acquired rights particularly with regard to their revered Shrine Udo.

It was suggested that the reason why the Onitsha people quarreled with Oba Esigie, (1404-1550), of Benin was because of the slight, the Oba gave their shrine-Udo. It was customary for newly installed Oba to pay homage to all important Shrines in the Benin Kingdom by slaughtering a cow in the shrines enclave. Oba Esigie failed to do this at the Onitsha people's Udo-Shrine, hence the quarrel.

It took the Onitsha people several years before they got to Obior and Ilah and finally crossed the River Niger and established Onitsha Ado. They stopped at several places in the then Mid-West now called Delta State, places like Agbor, Issele-Uku, etc. This explains the affinity with the inhabitants of Delta State like Ilah, Issele-Uku, Obbaamkpa, Onitsha-Olona, Onitsha Ugbo, Agbo, Obior, Onitsha Ukwu and so on.

WOW my eyes are opened wide
good find

i have no problems with igbos/ss but you cant abuse us and then use our words and titles

i mean you guys have no shame

great i know the girls isn't yoruba

its not our fault we marry outside our tribe more often

Onlytruth:
This message goes to Igbo Fathers:
As an Igboman who have passed through HELL in Nigeria, and who is determined to effect a real change ( create Biafra or create a confederal or truly federal Nigeria), I believe I have to say this: Isn't it wise to be more attentive to what our daugthers are doing?

There seems to be an unannounced mad rush for Igbo girls by some of these tribes that hate us the most.
How can we secure our future when our daugthers are in chokehold relationships with these people

I know we can sometimes find ourselves in desperate situations (daughter desperate for a husband), but please try to explain to these girls that the people they are marrying have not apologised for the starvation of 2 million in Biafra.

Igbo fathers, be more attentive to your daughters dates. Our sons have been ok., they always marry Igbo girls, but the Igbo girls!

If we don't direct and orient these girls right, we will wake up one day to find that our nation has been stolen right from under our eyes!
Igbo anya saa nu!

Marrying from the old EAST is ok , but Yoruba??!! Chineke ekwela ihe ojo!

maybe if more igbomen marry outside the "old east" like others-  there would be no problem

LOL I SAID OMO ODUDUWA NOT YORUBA

ODUDUWA IS THE FATHER OF DIFFIRENT TRIBES

well ogba is a yoruba word kini is yoruba and any REAL IGBOMAN WILL TELL YOU ITS NOT IGBO

lol sorry but most yorubas if not all claim daddys side.

like moi

no reason to hate or be mad people like you love to rewrite things folks have been doin for 100's of years

lol bini oba is the son of oduduwa

why lie to yourself

obas are only from oduduwa

he can be igbo if he wants who cares, it was an igbo who said can be a descendant of oduduwa not me
if he isnt great im happy to see we influence others around the world.

ChinenyeN:
Now, on the issue of the Oba title, sjeezy8, first, relax. Second, how do you know if he is[n't] a direct descendant of Oduduwa? I'm also going to go out on a limb here, and presume that you are unfamiliar with the oral traditions of origin of various riverine and delta Igbo groups. Am I wrong in presuming such?

Lastly, I don't typically care for pageants, but this one in particular isn't so bad.

oba isn't just a word it is a title given to omo oduduwas

Who isn't mixed in Nigeria?
The vast majority are but still claim daddys side


the Adaku123 babe and her boyfriend is what Nigeria is suppose to be all about.

So theres no need for any split in the country.

WOW

he may very well be, oduduwa conquered, expanded and place his children everywhere.

@post
i think you should add omo oduduwa to your topic seeing how its possible for him to be a direct descendant carrying the name "oba" [b]1st Niger Delta Tourism ,cultural Fair And Exhibition. (Omo oduduwa and Ada Ndiigbo)[/b]people will continue to recognize Oduduwa and his greatness through his descendants who are allover the world.
I sometimes wonder why the culture was the most valued african culture through the slave trade and now i know its because god has blessed Oduduwas descendants VASTLY throught out the world.
Ivy league schools and many universities teach Yoruba language - we are just too much
from cuba, brazil, benin, togo,sierre leone,ghana,trinidad,and NOW delta-igboland they will continue recognize Oduduwa.

gbo gbo bigs gal is good money for some VERY odd reason

yes about 2 or 3 of dem, oba sijuwade is even friends with the president of benin

This guy makes sense Benin has had former yoruba presidents.

yim shit

@topic tell that clown to take the oba title away he hes not a direct descendant of oduduwa.

lol you wont answer them because you know im right.
and clowns like you and the rest continue to prove me correct

by avoiding my questions

free me now!!!!!!!

^^^ once again here we go again:

In the East do they have any memorials dedicated any yorubas or others? AWO
In the East do they have any non igbos in government?
Do they have any non igbo named roads?
Is the islamic community living peacefully among the christians?
NO TO ALL

Abagworo:
@bolded.i imagine you have not really visited the east but for your info you will be stunned that most cab drivers,mechanics,traditional tailors and motor park touts in my village are from your part of the country.

Why is that people from my "side of the country" are activists, lawyers, doctors, judges,businessmen all around Nigeria but in the east they are given/have menial jobs as you said?

ignorant faggets like
you will continue to prove my point anyone living in the EAST and who is not a easterner-christian(igbo mainly)  is considered a second class citizen. and is discriminated against for being a non easterner. you guys are tribalist SIMPLE

lol Bini has an Oba because they share the same ancestor Oduduwa that is why both languages are similar. They agree to disagree which is why they are related but not yoruba but they can coexist among eachother.Obas are direct descendats of oduduwa so if youre not under that whole line then theres no need for it to be used. please lets stay off tribes

udezue:
Sgeezy,
I don't believe in being a union with ppl u just can't coexist with. That's all.

I see and that is why many foreignerrs/migrants dont live in the East, because if someone isn't the same as you all, they are automically disregarded and marginilized.

thanks for proving my point- many easterners are shallow minded- one sided- judgemental- and not accomodating to those who dont agree with them. You guys should learn to love the differences between cultures and not force your similarities down other ethnicities throats.

lol yim

@clown ass udeuze
youre the same guy who believes in a country of religous and tribal hegemony

You are right but also wrong, why would anyone want to be anything other then what they are?
Why should everyone have to blend cultures just to live amongst eachother?
What happend to those who agree to disagree?
One Nigeria means mutual respect for eachother not taking or borowing traditional titles for for the hell of it or just because it looks and sounds good.Mutual respect and understanding are the necessary measures for social stability and progressive development. That is why the West i known for being a haven for migrants.
The ones that scream one Nigeria are the ones who will accept those for who they are, regardless of Ethnicity or religion.
You dont have to be like us, to be with us.

people in Nigeria are suppose to respect eachothers culture not fuckin play around with it

udezue:
Sjeezy, its either you are too slow to grasp the gist of the convo or u are just another stupid non Easterner hell bent on promoting hatred among our gullible people who fall for the nonsense. PLease the man has his identity and can keep it. How the hell am I not respecting his freaking identity. Did I ever tell him to relinquish his identity? Is ND an ethnic or regional identity? Two faced Yoruba fool. One minute you are scolding Easterners for focusing too much on their differences now you are telling me I am not letting him be who he is. The argument started bcoz according to the fool he felt that native Igbos in the South-south should not use the "term" Niger Delta" even though they are in the Niger Delta. Is MEND really an Ijaw or Niger Delta? The last time I checked ND is not exclusively Ijaw. It contains large ethnic groups like Efik-ibibio, Igbo, Urhobo, Ogoni, Isoko, Itsekiri,etc. Going by your argument we should then tell Movement of the Emancipation of Niger delta to change their name to MEI (Movement of the Emancipation of Ijaw) after all i dont see Calabar, Igbo, Isoko, Urhobo ppl in MEND. The rest of the non ijaw ppl could really care less about that so why should he bitch about Igbo using the term? The name belongs to all people that are native to that region not just Ijaw.

Please don't come back with another worthless argument. You are not even from the South East yet you are so obsessed with us. See your life. Busy body.

im not obsessed with shit i was actually fuckin offended when i saw an igboman with the title of "OBA" and the young lady carrying what mainly yoruba chiefs and obas carry. I seen the post and didn't comment for a while UNTIL i seen that trash.

so please correct yourself

yes niggu first yorubaland then off to igboland anad the south south
